FACTS/FLUKES: Lee, M. Montero, Eovaldi, Arroyo, Mercer

Lee bolsters ace status ... After a brutally unlucky 2012 campaign in which he went 6-9 with a 3.16 ERA, Cliff Lee (LHP, PHI) continued to pitch like his normal self in 2013. The win total rebounded and he became a $20+ pitcher yet again. But with over 2,000 innings now on his left arm, are there any signs of decline for Lee?
